Meet The Solar Soldier
Mr. Eric Williams Jr., a U.S. Army Veteran, husband, father, and a solar customer himself. He came from a proud family of U.S. Army and U.S. Marine war veterans, and built this company on the same core values he learned in the military: honor, integrity, and service.
After witnessing the shady tactics used in the renewable energy sector, he founded The Solar Soldier to bring education and transparency back to the consumer. He has been a mentor for the Illinois Shines program and an advocate for equitable energy, his mission is to protect you, advocate for your family or business, and ensure you make the best financial decision possible. Let's get the mission accomplished.
